Bicycle Parking

The City of Berkeley is committed to providing secure, conveniently located bicycle parking. The goal of the City's Bicycle Parking Program is to reduce bicycle theft and improve conveneiance for bicycle users. The City has more than 1,000 bicycle racks through out Berkeley.

Request a Bicycle Rack

Berkeley residents, local employees, business and property owners can submit requests for bicycle racks. Requests are evaluated by City staff and if a physically feasible location is identified, the location is added to the bicycle rack request list for installation as resources allow.

To request a bike rack:

Check the bike parking map to see if your location has already been rejected/ requested

Berkeley's on-street bicycle parking corrals offer businesses an opportunity to increase the amount of parking available to customers as well as improve the sidewalk environment. Read about this program and, if you're a business owner, apply for a free bike corral here.

Funding:

The City's Bicycle Parking Program is supported by Alameda County Measure B sales taxes and grants from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Transportation Fund for Clean Air.

In 2013 the City of Berkeley received an allocation of $150,000 from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. This funding is for the installation of bike racks and six new in-street "bike corral" high capacity bike parking areas (locations TBD) during 2014 and 2015. Following this next round of installations, the City is planning a second allocation of $180,000 from TFCA for more bike racks and 12 additional bike corrals in a subsequent construction project.
